Graham Brady confirms PM has offered to meet with exec of 1922 next week. After which exec will have a further discussion.

Also confirms his understanding that the govt will bring EU withdrawal bill before Commons for second reading *before* EU elections.
My strong sense from Brady, interviewing him live just now on @SkyNews, is that the PM has given him strong hints she’ll set out a timetable to the 22 or something approaching it. Also sense he’s suspicious she’ll actually follow through.
Also got strong sense that if she doesn’t comply the exec might censure her in some way. But when it comes down to it isn’t obvious beyond condemnation what she should do. Would be a powerful symbol though.

First Euro poll to show the Conservatives in fourth place. Suspect could fall yet further. If it comes to pass would be the first time in political history the Tories come fourth in a national election.
Labour clearly losing out to the Lib Dems, as are CUK. Some evidence now that, in England at least, Lib Dems are building on their local election success and finally beginning to establish themselves as party of Remain.
And woah, that’s not at all. This is for a *general* election. Tory party only just in second. Labour and Tories between them only on 50%.

A lot could change. But as I wrote earlier in the week, conditions are ripe for a big realignment in British politics.

Yes, it must be a struggle.
Also, it’s a bit rich of parents who send their children to private schools to accuse Oxbridge of “social engineering” when they *literally* pay for social engineering via their kids’ education, so they’re educated with other kids who are, you know, rich.
Parents buy their kids a better education and life chances over children who have no means to pay for the same: “perfectly just, don’t see a problem with it.”

Universities attempt modest measures to level the playing field: “COMMUNISM.”

At the end of a pretty torrid week for ChangeUK, not a bad turnout for their Birmingham “Charter for Remain” rally.
.@heidiallen75 takes to the stage first, starts by saying: “ChangeUK we’re going places.” Alas at 2% in the latest poll, it could be nowhere, fast.
Change UK have simplified their message. That was much needed. Still not as clear as the LibDems’ though.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Brexit 1/10 - Okay, to 17m people who voted Leave: this was not your fault. May's deal leaves Britain taking the EU's rules on trade without any say in what the rules are. This is not the "best possible deal". So - what to do?
2/10 - How did we get here? Two years of dishonesty and incompetence. May knew the deal would be terrible so delayed, hoping to frog-march us into accepting it. As a result, you're now going to see a political crisis of 1970s proportions...
3/10 - You have to accept you were lied to. By liars like Johnson and Davis, who said the EU would split, and we could do a quick trade deal. They sat in the cabinet doing f*** all, then walked away...

Thread re Prime Minister on #BBCtoday @BBCr4today re #EU just now: she got her catchphrase in early and followed the classic media training advice 'repeat, repeat, repeat'. 3 years ago it was 'Long-term economic plan', now it is 'when we leave the EU free movement will end'
or 'when we leave the EU we will take back control of our money, our laws and our borders'. All of which is based on fallacy - claim of net out-flow of money has been demonstrated clearly many times, we elect our MEPs and the MPs who debate the EU regs and we have border controls
Astonishingly disdainful way she thinks of UK workers - they will be trained for the low skilled jobs currently done by people from EU27 countries, but we will still allow people in if they will have salary of £50k. She had no plan for immediate recruitment e.g. for care homes

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

PM in quite a pickle here.
Brexiter MPs glum about "endless backstop" being a backdoor sellout. Davis also unhappy unless time-limited.

But Backstop with time limit "is not a backstop" says Irish & EU.

More important: backstop "immensely important" for Tory Remainer rebels.
The prospect of the backstop was being used to reassure Tory Rebels not to rebel next week on the EU Withdrawal Bill, and to give the PM a clean bill to take with her to Brussels...
They were also led to believe it was signed off in Cabinet already
If she changes tack on this, Remainer Rebels will lose faith in reassurances on NI, and vote against Government next week.
If she does not, what will David Davids, Foreign Sec do?

It is either time limited or it is not. Unless this is Quantum Brexit.
